The patented AXIS/CMC™ by BrakeTech USA is the latest in ultra-advanced Ceramic Matrix Composite brake rotor technology for the Motorcycle Industry.  Over ten years in development, the AXIS/CMC incorporates now de-classified Stealth Bomber Aircraft technology that takes high performance in an incredibly lightweight material design to an all-new level. This revolutionary material will change the way both top-level race teams and enthusiasts alike view their braking systems. The performance parameters in-total make all previous materials and systems dated by comparison, including the vaunted Carbon/carbon brakes. Designed to perform brilliantly with OE calipers as well as the Billet GP race-spec units. This unparalleled composite material offers the best features of premium iron rotors with the incredible lightweight of carbon, and none of the Carbon/carbon foibles!

Performance features include:

• Not thermally sensitive (will work great on the street)
• Ultra broad torque curve across a very wide thermal range
• Much longer lasting than C/c
• Much less expensive than C/c
• Great wet weather performance - unlike C/c [not hygroscopic]
• Terrific feel and feedback at the lever
• Strong braking performance?  We mean, Really strong: +.6 mu average friction with special Ferodo Racing brake pads

Comparative Brake Weight Stats (CBR1000rr, `04-05):

• Honda OE 310mm stainless:  3lbs  4.4oz at 5mm thick   [1486grams]
• BrakeTech 310mm Iron:        2lbs  15.0oz at 5mm thick [1332grams]
• BrakeTech 310mm CMC:       1lb  5.6oz at 5mm thick [612grams]

Comparative Brake Weight Stats for 6mm thick Narrow-Band Superbike:

• BrakeTech SBK 320mm CMC:  1lb  8.7oz at 6.0mm thick [700grams]
• Brembo SBK 320mm Steel:    3lbs 11.4oz at 6.0mm thick [1684grams]

When considering the purchase of this advanced technology brake system, bear in mind, it's not simply a braking improvement, but a whopping 65% reduction [average] of unsprung weight as well.  That equates to a genuinely substantial handling improvement with the investment and creates a whole new avenue to reduce the moment of inertia steering input and improving overall handling with chassis-reactive dynamics that simply must be experienced - the reduction in gyroscopic forces is nothing short of amazing!!!

Hot or cold, wet or dry, the AXIS/CMC™ full-floaters establish a new dimension in braking and handling performance without peer!
